Social media was set ablaze again this weekend after Gloria Stephany shared a video that many considered to be almost identical to one posted just two days earlier by Daniela Reyes, the ex of her current partner, singer Ángel Jesús Rodríguez. The coincidence was so striking that within just a few hours, the topic went viral and the old rivalry between the two women was back in the spotlight.
In the clip, Gloria appears in a countryside setting, dressed entirely in black, posing next to a horse. The production, polished and with a luxurious aesthetic, was part of a collaboration with an aesthetic clinic. "The beginning of a new era in luxury aesthetics is about to start," she wrote in her post. However, what seemed to be a campaign launch ended up becoming the center of conversation due to its similarity to Daniela's video, in which she also appeared dressed in black, with a horse in the background and the message: "The magic of being different."
The reactions were immediate. Many followers filled the comments with compliments: “spectacular,” “you ended on a high note,” “a woman who was born to shine.” However, others were more critical: “Is it just my imagination, or is she copying @danielareyesofficial?” “Very similar to Daniela’s, I don’t think it’s a coincidence,” or “girl, if you’re going to copy, at least do it better than the original”. Within hours, the video became one of the most discussed topics of the weekend in the Cuban digital circle.
Some users came out in her defense, claiming that the controversy was exaggerated. “She doesn’t need to copy anyone; she has her own style,” wrote a follower. Others interpreted the coincidence as a calculated move: “She knows what she’s doing; it’s marketing, and she handles it well.” There were also those who sought to tone down the intensity of the debate: “Horses are in fashion; there’s no need to see rivalry in everything.”
Meanwhile, the public took sides once again. Comparisons flooded the pages of Cuban gossip, where fans debated who did it better: Daniela, with her sober and elegant style, or Gloria, with a bolder and more commercial version. In any case, both achieved the same thing: getting everyone to talk about them.
Neither Gloria Stephany nor Daniela Reyes have commented on the matter. One prefers silence, while the other seems to relish the noise. But if there is one thing these interactions make clear, it’s that both Gloria and Daniela know how to leverage social networks to their advantage. In the realm of Cuban influencers, controversy continues to be the best algorithm.
